They lived in Dayton and Clifton, Idaho during their early married years where Glenda worked at the High School cafeteria.

Glenda was a very devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
She served in many church callings over the years, with her favorite being able to work in the Logan Temple with her husband for 11 years. They both loved the Temple dearly.
Full of faith and fortitude she always supported her family and friends.
